Linear Photo Diode Arrays
by PANAVISION SVI, LLC

The sensors are manufactured using the patented ACS (active column sensor) technology. This results in sensors with a high dynamic range and a very low noise. Additionally the sensors provide a high fill factor with an increased sensitivity. EURECA Messtechnik cooperates closely with PANAVISION and will take over the official distribution for these products soon.

At present the LIS-500 can only be delivered as die (sensor without housing). The minimum order volume is one complete wafer with approx. 3000 sensors. The wafers can also be sawed by the manufacturer. Then the single sensors will be delivered packed on trays.

The ELIS-1024A-DIP is delivered in a DIP housing without glass cover. So this sensor is suitable for spectroscopy or for applications in which filters, quartz or other components have to be mounted directly onto the sensor. Also reflections are avoided by the missing glass cover.

The DLIS-2K and the DLIS-4K provides four parallel pixel rows. One row with rectangular pixels can be used for low-light applications. The other three rows with square pixels can be used for e.g. scanning documents.

These products are often used in OCR card readers (e.g. for scanning text on Eurocheck cards or documents). You can find closer details about this in our application note about OCR reading units.

Evaluation Boards For most of these linear sensors an evaluation board is available, which can be used to test the sensors fast and easy for a new application. This board provides an USB interface and a 12 bit ADC. Attention: Due to the used USB interface not all sensors can be used with their maximum pixel frequency.
